What should I do to my FRS next?
 

Currently I only have an exhaust. Tsudo exhaust to be exact. I don't want my car to look ricey. I'm trying to get all the cheap easy mods first before I get into the expensive stuff. I currently am planning on getting a 30% tint and a fin antenna. Possibly gonna also get a WORKS drop in filter. I was just wondering if I should get anything else that isn't that expensive, looks nice and gives out an increase in hp. I'm not really a car savvy guy either. This is my first car

take some driving courses, improving your abilities will be the best money you can spend for your car.

I can drive already tho

Learn how to drive from a professional driver, not a middle aged divorced dmv driving instructor. That way you won't have to know what crashing $25,000 feels like.

I don't plan on crashing lol. I'm a very safe driver and very cautious on the road. Being a student I cannot risk getting a ticket or accident since it'll make my insurance skyrocket. Nonetheless, I want to drive in style lol

Who plans on crashing? Whether you plan on it or not has no bearing on if you should improve your driving abilities and learn how to handle the vehicle better, more responsibly, and in a fun way.

Very little things are inexpensive, look nice, and "give out an increase in hp". Don't let that be your focus until you've modded yourself a good degree. You know who else looks for cheap, nice looking hp increasing mods? Civic EG owners.

No one plans on crashing. The fact that you CANT AFFORD an accident is all the more reason to take a driving course. I'm 17 and I know the feeling of wrecking a $3000 car. It was the worst day of my life to date. I'm going to schedule driving training when I get my next paycheck.

Who plans on crashing...minus stunt drivers?

He wants to spiffy up his car, not enter it in the Daytona 500...

Because you crashed your car doesn't mean everyone else needs lessons...

Bump up that post count buddy.

Sharing a personal anecdote to further promote his point doesn't mean he's implying everyone will crash their car?

The OP was asking for "cheap, quick mods that give good hp". Care to share some answers to his question then instead of just ripping on other posters giving useful, constructive opinions?

:slap:

After your exhaust and drop-in filter, get a tune. That should give you nice gains for the money.

And how do driving lessons from Professional drivers equate to "cheap quick mods that give good hp"? Unless that pro driver's got a turbo shoved up his ass...

While we have all provided at least some suggestion, you have yet to do so.

Our reasoning is clear: quick, cheap, easy mods that give good hp are non-existent. Tune your own driving skills and you will enjoy this car more than the enjoyment that neon lights and anything else prevalent on late-model Civics will...

Or do you still not get it?

Exhaust, drop in filter, some suspension work...fluid changes...weighted shifter knob...these are all "quick, cheap, easy mods that give good hp (or some performance boost)...so yes I do get it.

Not everyone needs driving lessons to keep from crashing. Some of us have common sense. From his original post, it doesn't sound like he's ready to hit the circuit, just wants to do fun little mods. YOU DON'T NEED PROFESSIONAL DRIVING LESSONS FOR THAT. Get it??? :bonk:

And who the hell said anything about neon lights???

Or he can enjoy his first car for what it has and provides and not waste his money on things he doesn't need or understand.

But then again I don't typically come into threads to flame on posts from posters that had totally valid points and opinions. Flame on buddy.

And who are you to tell him how to enjoy his car? Is your opinion the only "right" opinion?

How about this...when he makes a post saying something along the lines of "how do I prepare for my first time at the track. I'd like to get into racing" then I'll agree with you...but to insinuate everyone needs driving lessons to enjoy this car is...well...whatever...

TINTS ARE A MUST
Tires
Transmission/engine mounts are pretty cheap
change out the oils for better stuff

ONLY AFTER PROFESSIONAL DRIVING LESSONS!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

This forum is full of ppl giving unsolicited
advice...but id go with touch screen headunit

I would say sticker tires.

Did you mean slicker? Lol if you did mean slicker, that's a nice suggestion. If you meant sticker I just pissed my pants. :lol:

"Sticker" tires are new tires, they still have the sticker on them.

:iono:

Thought that was standard knowledge...

Drop the car and make it ROAR!!

Not standard knowledge compared to the previous comments on this thread

I'm not really a car guy, but I just bought my drop in filter. I keep reading about tunes on these forums, but I never understood what it was. Can you please explain?

Also I think I'm done with performance wise. I'm satisfied with the way it is now. But what would be some mods appearance wise? I have the Argento FRS. I think finding things that'll look nice on it color wise is difficult in my honest opinion lol. Whiteout and Raven would be so much easier >.<

inb4 this guys post count is 1000 by the time I get home from work

What's with the fascination regarding my post count? I hardly think I qualify as a post whore here...and who even thinks about post counts??? I apologize for making a few comments on a forum designed for people to make comments...sheesh...

Chen probably meant stickier tires lol.

OP: a proper drop and some nicer wheels is the natural next step IMO

dont ask people what you should do to your car. drive it. if you drive it enough, you will know what you like and dont like. the only things you should do to your car is buy things that enhance what you like and diminish what you dont like.
